> The appeal of the 737 MAX for airlines was that it was intentionally made so that you could take crews with a 737 qualification and put them in.

Really? Everything I heard so far sounds like the 737 MAX has a few new, unusual or counter intuitive features that require extra training, and that training material skimped on training for that.

> "just old 737 nothing new here hop in"

Am I correct in understanding that was a blatant lie?

Not an expert, I'm basing my comment on stuff I've learned from third party sources.

It does not sound to me like lying, more like a confusion of project constraints. I.e. "make the plane better but don't touch this and this and this arbitrary system".
